UCAB: export of agricultural products from the seaports of Ukraine decreased by 45% in a week

From July 3 to 9, 151.8 thousand tons of agricultural products were exported through the sea ports of the Odesa region, which is 45% less than last week.

During the week, 4 vessels were loaded in Ukrainian seaports — this is 2 units less than in the previous week. These vessels are loaded, but they have not yet passed the necessary inspection to continue moving further and are waiting for it, the press service of the  UCAB reported.

During the 49th week of the Grain Agreement, the most exported were corn (59%), wheat (26%) and sunflower meal (15%). Ukrainian products were sent to the following countries: Asia (China and Turkey), Africa (Tunisia) and Europe (France).

UCAB emphasizes that since the end of June, not a single ship entering Ukrainian seaports has passed inspection. According to the previous agreement, the current agreement expires on July 18, 2023, but even before this date, the work of the “grain corridor” is slowed down as much as possible.

Currently, the entire agricultural market is waiting for the further fate of the agreement, since the harvest has begun and the issue of export is becoming especially urgent.
